Answer 1

Explanation:

The professional soccer player buys 16 acres of land.

He wants to use
`(2)/(8)` of the land to put his own soccer field and facility on.

All we have to do is find
`(2)/(8)` of 16 acres.

`(2)/(8)` of 16 acres:

`(2)/(8)` * 16 = 4 acres

He will need 4 acres out of the 16 acres for his soccer field and facility.
